PARCHED BY A DROUGHT.
A SAD STATE OF AFFAIRS IN ILLI-
NOIS AND WISCONSIN.

All the Small Water Courses Dry
The Pastures as Brown as If Baked
Only Two Light Showers in Three
Months-Forest Fires Breaking Out.
CHICAGO, July IA local paper says:
No such drought as now prevails has
existed in Illinois and Wisconsin for many
years The roads are ankle deep with dust,
the pastures are brown, leaves on the forest
and shade trees are shrivelled up, and each
hot breath of air from the cloudless horizon
drives them away in showers. The creeks
have run dry and the water in the larger
streams is at lower stage than was ever
known before.
THREE MONTHS IN DURATION.
There has not been a soaking rain in this
part of the country since March Two show
ers in April and one each in May and June
had but temporary effect on crops.
Stunted yellow Spears bending disconsola-
tary over immense beds of dust are the only
evidence that the farmers saved any corn
this year The leaves of the fruit trees are
falling off, and fruit, which promised to be
plenty, is wrinl1led and dried to q crisp.
Raspberry bushes look as though they were
producing a crop of shot, SO infiniteSmally
small are the berries The drought has be-
come so terrible that public prayers are
being offered for rain. Fences along the
country roads and the dead walls of villages
are plastered with huge bills calling for
special services at the district school houses
and churches
FIRES SPRING UP.

from drought. Drinking water in many
towns has been polluted, and the beds Of
creeks are covered with decaying fish The
drought in the northern and central tier of
counties of Illinois is not any more serious
than it is in Wisconsin. The Badger"
State is literally burning up, and fruit and
crops are nearly all destroyed. Reports
from Northwestern Iowa state that the
| drought has been broken.
